The painting "Stańczyk" by Jan Matejko is the most famous image in Polish art. It captures a moment of terrible irony.
The man in the red outfit is Stańczyk, the royal court jester. His job is to make people laugh. But here, he is the only one who is not happy. In the background, the Royal Court of Poland is throwing a lavish party. You can see the guests dancing and celebrating in the bright hall. They are happy because they are ignoring reality.
Stańczyk sits alone in the shadows because he has seen the letter on the table. It brings news that Smolensk—a critical fortress city—has fallen to the enemy (the Russians). While the King and Queen party, ignoring the danger, the Jester clenches his hands in anxiety. Outside the window, a comet streaks across the sky, a symbol of the doom coming for the nation. The painting asks us: Who is the real fool? The man wearing the jester's hat, or the leaders who let their country burn?
